Ok I seen some model type arguments on the gasser fourm ages ago. I got handed a old TD brochure today, one I have never seen before and the following TD's are mentioned, which I post to test your TD knowledge (and I didnt know
):
716 K, M, MK, MS, T
718 MK, T, T Weapons Carrier

Seen most those designations before, and easily explainable.
I must assume the M , K and T are used in the normal context ( M , 3 door softtop; K, 5 door hardtop; T' stripped flatbed) . After that, the MK is a 3 door platform with hardtop fitted.
The MS eludes me, as it would be a 3 door platform with "S" for "Spezial" which translate to 'special purpose' or 'purpose-built' as my guess.
There were 716 K(urz) ( short). For a series of 716 with shorten wheelbase assault vehicles . There has been several videos bouncing around the web in the past. These also may be the MS's, as the K(urz) would be totally confusing with K for hardtop.
T weapon carrier ( or weapon platform) is a removeable body (platform) fitted to a flatbed ( T )

In this brochure it has 716 MK/MS Cargo or personell carrier with closed body.
From the pictures I am guessing one is an ambulance and the other is a hardtop M
T in this book refers to Carrier model, just like a pickup with a Cab and then got the weapon carriers with and without stabilizer legs.
Some different pictures, well ones I never seen before:
- an early P90 with the side canvas gaiter thing bolted on just behind the door. Which means the Air intake grille is screwed in through the canvas
- also a piccy of a high canvas roof on the back
- and weapons carriers with rockets, missiles and my personal traffic favourite 20mm cannon
I need to scan it before saturday. Appears to be the original marketing material given the Malaysian government as has Steyr-DRB on the pages.
